btw, this is "Dan Jones"..who is a famous author and historical presenter on Channel 5 recently. anything know about him..please let me know.
His accent sounds as if he is from Southern England and upper middle class. He was born in Reading Southern England but his parents are Welsh. He sounds rather intelligent to me. Yes he has a slightly arrogant manor
hi being from the same sort of location myself born in maidenhead handworked in reading for 30 years. he is fairly typical of his age group self important and has some image issues hence the tattoos. always associated with many with self image issues the need to be so overt. thinks people are interested in what h has to say well not me sorry. he is a pain to even try and listen to. yes others have picked up on the fact that jones is a welsh name.we had so many who came to the south part of england to live due to employment. so i would find hime some one i really could not listen to for long. his facts are his own opinion and he has totally lost it with the subject the passage of what happen during history was what happened no grand plan it was what transpired over time with our monarchy.
so when i hear such nonsense i immediately think another so called expert.
Southern English accent, not easily pinned down. The book sounds very interesting, there is a review here which I liked. I must get a copy.
His accent is fairly neutral but as he was born in Reading then I suppose you could say it has a slight southern overtone
